What are in-office labs?

In-office labs are medical tests that help diagnose acute illnesses like infections that cause pain, fever, and other symptoms.

Labs can also identify early signs of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease so you can make appropriate lifestyle and diet changes before the disease worsens.

Boca General & Family Medicine provides comprehensive, in-office labs for adults and adolescents aged 16 and over, so you don’t have to travel anywhere else.

The medical providers can provide prompt, accurate answers about your health during your visit, so you can make informed decisions about any treatment you need.

Which in-office labs are available?

The in-office labs available at Boca General & Family Medicine include:

Blood tests

Blood testing provides information about blood cell counts to identify infections, certain cancers, and clotting disorders. The providers also use blood tests to evaluate major organ function and hormone, blood sugar (glucose), and cholesterol levels.

Urine testing

Urine testing detects urinary tract infections (UTIs), certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and kidney dysfunction. A urinalysis can also screen for hormone imbalances, pregnancy, and drug use.

Spirometry

Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can take in and expel from your lungs to confirm asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues.

Ultrasound imaging

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to create images of organs and other soft tissues to diagnose abnormal growths and identify tissue tears. An ultrasound company visits the practice 1-2 times a week to provide in-office imaging tests.

The staff also helps you schedule X-ray imaging when needed to diagnose fractures, pneumonia, and other conditions.
